Nutrition Week October 28-Nov. 3 A good laugh speaks as loud as the dollars paid for fcod at the dinner table, and that doji- cious odor of potroast, carrots and turnip greens coming from the kitchen actually aids your digestion. These pleasurable facts about the good you get from foods, to¬ gether with some things to know about nutrition, are part of what is being stressed by the Georgia Nutrition Council as the state prepares to observe Georgia Nutrition Week Octo¬ ber 28 through November 3. The Council reviews the ac¬ complishments of the past ten years since President Roosevelt first called into being the Na¬ tional Nutrition Council, in¬ cluding food enrichment, hot school lunches, pasteurization of milk, and improved process¬ ing and storing of foods and gives some hints on food facts For instance: Don’t throw real nutrition down the sink, but use the liquid that food is cooked j n stretch your dollar by using some dried and evap orated milk . ^ mineral cil for salad dressing, it isn’t good for you. Will you live to be a hundred if you eat yogurt? No, but it’s good, has much the same value as buttermilk. Water at meal time? Yes, but don’t wash your food down wth it. Skip break¬ fast? Absolutely no. If your ap¬ petite a sure guide to what you need? No, you can satisfy ap¬ petite with energy building food, but you won’t get your body built up that way. Governor Talmadge has is¬ a proclamation declaring 28 through November 3 to be Georgia Nutrition Week, called on the people of the to gain more nutrition knowledge and "put it in ef¬ fect.” Look for local exhibit next Creek Indians to Hold Exhibition Game Macon, Ga., October 24.—Fans who like their sports rough will an opportunity to see a game reputed to be one of the when the Creek In¬ come to Macon for the of the Ocmulgee Na¬ Monument on Nov. 2. As compared to the Indian’s game, football is for sissies,” authorities A description of the and the statement of “no tends to verify this de¬ The Creek Indians will return the home of their ancestors participate in the ceremonies the official dedication the museum at Ocmulgee Na¬ Monument. They have to perform their co¬ ceremonial dances as of the dedication ceremo¬ at 3 P. M., and will play the game on the field of Macon Peaches baseball as an added attraction, at p. m. According to a description furnished by the Indians, stick- ball has no rules and each player is furnished only with two clubs, or sticks that have a small pocket in one end. The ball, a wooden sphere covered with squirrel skin, is thrown in¬ to the field and the melee be¬ gins. The ball can be touched with nothing except the clubs that the players carry. The ob¬ ject of the game is to take the ball into the pocket of the club and toss it across the op¬ ponent’s goal. The Creek offi¬ cials frankly admit the game “usually ends in bloodshed.” Cecil Coke, president of the pcmulgee Auxiliary Corpora¬ tion, has revealed the Indians are only part of a mammonth program planned by that orga¬ nization. He said plans are be¬ ing made for a parade, at 11 A. M„ that should be the largest ever witnessed in Macon. There will be bands from all parts of Georgia, and civic clubs in 27 counties have been invited to appropriate floats for the ocassion. Calves should be fed some skim milk until they are four months old. according to Frank W. Fitch and H. K. Welch. Jr., Extension Service dairymen. A mixture of home-g r o w n grain can replace calf starter for calves that are growing well; at three dairy or four months of age, j say experts. The Protection Of Forestlands Means Money For You Eight decades ago this news¬ paper you now are reading would have come, not from the trees, but from the ragbag. Paper then was manufactured from rags, and there never seemed to be quite enough rags to keep the paper mills run- j ning. Pioneer women in Dade Coun¬ ity may recollect the day when Congress had to step in and is¬ sue a direct appeal to the wo¬ men of this nation to supply the paper industry with enough rags to keep it going. Today, fortunately for far- seeing Dade County farmers and landowners who for years have been practicing good man¬ agement practices on their tim- berland, woodpulp rather than rags forms our major paper supply. Appeals from the Dade Coun¬ ty Forestry Unit, therefore for the public to treat the forest like the financially lucrative corp it is, are based on good, sound reasons. Behind those reasons lies the fact that wildfire-free wood¬ lands in our area mean not only good money returns for farmer and landowner; they mean a prosperous, sound economy to benefit the entire population of Dade County. No county with acre upon acre of blackened wasteland can .rank high in eco¬ nomic or agricultural impor¬ tance. Keep Dade County woodlands free of wildfire is one of the most vital appeals which can be made during this dangerous fall forest fire season.
